******************************** Wipro's Azim Premji: "I Don't See Growing to 200,000 People as an Insurmountable Challenge" http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=1439 Azim Premji, 60, owns more than 80% of Bangalore-based Wipro, India's third largest software exporter, which had annual revenues of $1.8 billion in 2005. Forbes magazine reckons that his net worth exceeds $13 billion, and it places him at No. 25 in its most recent ranking of the world's richest people. In the first of a two-part interview with Knowledge@Wharton, Premji speaks with Ravi Aron, a professor of operations and information management at Wharton, about Wipro's reorganization last year following the departure of its former CEO; why the company chose to move to a new structure based on so-called verticals; how Wipro's business operations are changing; and the challenges the company faces in building management talent.
